Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm: A New English VersionBy Philip Pullman, November 2012, 400 pages

Two centuries ago, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published the first volume of “Children’s and Household Tales.” Now best-selling author of the “His Dark Materials“ trilogy, Pullman retells the world’s best-loved fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm on the 200th anniversary.

Pullman retells 50 of his favorites, everything from “Cinderella” and “Rapunzel” to other lesser known tales like “The Girl with No Hands.” Included at the end of each tale is a brief personal commentary.

These retellings will surely draw readers back in to the fairy tale world.

Award-winning journalist Karen Patterson covered more than 7,000 miles of Ohio’s hills, valleys, towns and cities to visit more than 100 restaurants.

The result is this book which contains information about the 101 best locally-owned and managed restaurants in the state. She sought out restaurants with tasty food, great atmospheres and reasonable prices.

Fans of Neil Zurcher’s One Tank Trips series and foodies looking for a great restaurant will want to check out this new book.
